Holy Monk Yinhai Shengzun——Great Achievers
Holy Monk Yinhai
After the Holy Monk had entered nirvana, the nails on His fingers continued to grow and His flesh body manifested a miraculous great transformation that had never occurred in the history of Buddhism to exhibit a majestic and magnificent holy appearance. This manifestation created a record in the history of Buddhism. The flesh body started a total transformation 10 days after entering nirvana and changed to a different and yet extremely majestic visage during a period of over 20 days. This holy feat left by Elder Dharma Master Yinhai to the human world confirmed the prediction made by Wangzha Shangzun.
Please read the following announcements for detailed description of the holy feats manifest by the Elder Monk Yinhai.

Tangtong Gyalpo Bodhisattva——Great Achievers
H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo is a greatly accomplished person within Tibetan esoteric Buddhism who attained the rainbow body. He is a great Bodhisattva known and respected by one and all in Tibet. He is also an extremely holy person who has made huge contributions to the Tibetan people. It was this great Bodhisattva who was the father of medicine, ferryboats, bridges, and operas in Tibet. He has brought to the living beings of Tibet limitless blessings. To this day, Tibetan temples and families continue to worship H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo Bodhisattva.
The first Tangtong Gyalpo left the household life to become a monk when he was very young. He studied the sutras and treatises and became good at debating the sutras. Although he possessed the Five Vidyas, he remained modest, simple, and down-to-earth. In order to provide a model of self-cultivation, H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo followed and learned under many people of great virtue. He also engaged in solitary, quiet cultivation for a long period of time at the Eri Temple. Later, he received teachings directly from Dakini Niguma and became a person greatly accomplished in the dharma. People praised H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo with the following words: ¨In the vast realm of emptiness, there is a yogi who intensively studies emptiness and who is like the King of Fearlessness. His name is Tangtong Gyalpo.〃 He has also been respectfully called Zhibai Wangxiu Tangtong Gyalpo, which means the accomplished, free and unhindered Tangtong Gyalpo!
During a certain year in history, there was a serious drought and famine in Tibet. H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo conducted a Dharma Assembly in front of the Sakyamuni Buddha statue in the Jo-khan Temple in Lhasa. At that Dharma Assembly, he wrote ¨A Prayer to Eliminate Famine.〃 Many people then saw Kuan Yin Bodhisattva in the sky disseminating various grains. The famine ended not long after that. There was another time when war and chaos occurred in the Muya district of Kham in Tibet, causing people to leave their homes and wander about. H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo made a vow and wrote ¨A Prayer to End War and Chaos.〃 People in that area very soon after that ended their mutual hatred and instead treated one another in a peaceful, friendly, and loving manner. There was another year when a pestilence broke out in a large area covering a religious site of the Sakya sect, causing countless deaths. The chanting of mantras and the offering of sacrifices could not end the pestilence. Thus, H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo again practiced dharma and wrote ¨A Prayer to End the Disaster of Illness.〃 As a result, the pestilence disappeared forthwith.
In previous times in Tibet, it was very difficult for people to cross rivers. The river waters mercilessly took away peopleˇs lives as they attempted to cross the rivers. Thus, H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo made improvements to ferryboats and began building bridges. In that lifetime, he built fifty iron-chain bridges, sixty wooden bridges, and many temples. One of those temples was the Tangge Lakong (the Tangtong Gyalpo Temple), which was the first temple in the Derge region.
With respect to medicine, H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo established the Medicine King Temple at Jiabori in Lhasa, invented a white pill that cured all kinds of internal medical diseases, and invented a red pill that cured epidemic diseases. Thus, he became the founder of Tibetan medicine. That white pill and red pill are used in Tibetan medicine even to this very day to relieve the sufferings of living beings.
H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo Bodhisattva also wrote many Tibetan operas and established the Ache Lhamo opera troupe, the members of which acted out Tibetan historical stories through song and dance and pioneered Tibetan operas.
H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo was the supreme leader of four esoteric sects within India, Bhutan, Sikkim, Mongolia, and Eastern Tibet. He possessed teachings from many dharma lineages, the most remarkable of which were the lineage to extend oneˇs life and the lineage to bring in wealth and change oneˇs fortune. Everyone in Tibet, no matter what sect he or she belonged to, believed in and practiced such lineages and scriptures. Countless disciples of H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo became accomplished in the dharma under his teachings and attained great supernatural powers, wisdom and great compassion. More than one hundred disciples of his attained the rainbow body or the transformation rainbow body. All Tibetan people know that H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo is truly a great patriarch of Tibetan esoteric Buddhism and a great Bodhisattva. Later, each time H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo incarnated into this world. He was a great patriarch who spread the dharma, liberated living beings, and pervasively benefited people.
H.E. the sixteenth Tangtong Gyalpo Bodhisattva (Thangtrul Rinpoche) took birth in Bhutan. His physical appearance resembles that of Guru Padmasambhava. Even when he sleeps, his eyes remain open. He saw H.H. Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu during a Dharma Assembly that took place in 2005 at Hua Zang Si in San Francisco, U.S.A. In a supernatural state of samadhi, he instantly saw that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha, the highest ancient Buddha in the dharma realm, had already come to this world again. He at once formally acknowledged H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu as his master. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III asked him, ¨Did you follow and learn dharma under Guru Padmasambhava? Why have you come here?〃 H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo answered that he had received teachings directly from Guru Padmasambhava and from H.H. Sakya Trizin who is the nirmanakaya of Manjushri Bodhisattva. He also said that he had come to request the highest dharma in order to save living beings. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III immediately snapped His fingers, and a dharma bowl manifested awesome power. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III then accepted H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo as one of his disciples who is on the level of a great venerable one and performed an initiation for him. H.E. Tangtong Gyalpo took that dharma bowl back to his home country.
He later learned that the book A Treasury of True Buddha-Dharma about the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu Holiest Tathagata was about to be published. He thereupon organized many rinpoches to practice the Kuan Yin Dharma one billion times as an offering to His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III. He also sent his written congratulations stating that His Holiness is the master of Buddhas, the magnificence of His Holiness is supreme and that in this world no other holy being in history can compare with His Holiness.
H.E. Queji Jiangyang Qingzhen——Great Achievers
H.E. Queji Jiangyang Qingzhen was a disciple of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III who truly manifested realization. This Sakya rinpoche of great holiness had white hair and a youthful complexion. His silver beard extended below his belly, and a heavenly eye opened between his eyebrows. Through his practice he attained the state in which his whole body was semi-transparent. Thus, his three channels and five chakras could be vaguely seen. He realized a state of true longevity equal to that of heaven. The rinpoche was able to fly through the air, coming and going anywhere with total ease and control. When he received from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III an inner-tantric initiation in the holy form called Drawing Lots From a Golden Vase, the lot landed upon the Xian Liang Great Perfection mandala. The Buddha Master transmitted to him the Lion Vajra Dharma and the highest great dharma called the Xian Liang Great Perfection Dharma. Right then and there H.E. Queji Jiangyang Qingzhen realized the rainbow-body perfection state.
Venerable Dharma Teacher Guozhang——Great Achievers
Dharma Master Guozhang
Venerable Dharma Teacher Guozhang (1907-2015) was a famous and eminent monk in China. He received tonsure and became a monk in Mt. Emei, one the four famous Buddhist mountains of China, in 1930 . In his middle age, he went to Kangding and formally acknowledged H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III as his Root Vajra Master. He held the position of the abbot at the Jiulaodong Monastery in Mt. Emei in circa. 1946, and became the Abbot of Kaihua Temple in Mt. Wuzhong, which is the first stop of the southbound transmission of Buddhism from India to China, in 1992. He then bore the responsibility as the Abbot of the Jiewang Monastery in Mt. Wuzhong from the age of 87 in 1994 till the age of 102 in 2009, during which time he rebuilt the very ancient temple. He passed away at Jiewang Monastery at the age of 108 in 2015.
Dharma teacher Guozhang strictly abides by the precepts of Buddhism, and his realization is profound. He is able to subdue beasts that live in the mountains. He is also able to hear the words of beings in the heavenly realm. He undertakes the task of propagating the dharma and benefiting living beings.
When the Dharma teacher spoke of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III in 2004, he cried tears of compassion. On behalf of all living beings, he sincerely beseeched His Holiness the Buddha as follows: “Great Dharma King, I, your disciple, miss you. Living beings need you.” The Dharma teacher sent the video in which he spoke those words to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, who was on the other side of the Pacific Ocean at that time. During the filming of that video, the Dharma teacher was moved by compassion and practiced a holy Dharma in order to repay the kindness of his H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Suddenly, his body emitted red light.
Kaichu Jiaozun——Great Achievers
H.E. Kaichu Rinpoche
Kaichu Jiaozun is a very loyal disciple of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s. He cultivates himself with a pure heart in accordance with the Dharma. He is an reincarnated rinpoche recognized by Dharma King Mohe. Among a group of venerable ones and rinpoches who received a tonsure initiation from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, Kaichu Jiaozun attained accomplishment at the fastest pace and reached the highest realization. He lived with Dharma King Mohe for a long period of time and followed that Dharma King for over eight years. He always regards Buddhist matters as his first priority. He underwent many tests, both open and secret, and showed tremendous sincerity. Due to holy karmic conditions in following Elder Dharma King Mohe, his merit matured. He was finally able to receive from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III a holy form of Inner-tantric Initiation called Xianliang Great Perfection Initiation and Casting of Lots Upon a Mandala. At that initiation, he attained the rainbow-body Dharma state within one hour. He thereby attained rapid realization and accomplishment that had never been heard of before.
Kaichu Jiaozun demonstrated his inner power from the Tummo Samahdi transmitted to him by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III in public in around 2010, in which he raised his torso temperature to 92 degree Celsius and cooked a raw egg. Then at the age of 88 on February 9, 2020, with a body weight of 188 pounds, and three deformed fingers resulted from an old injury on His right hand, Kaichu Jiaozun lifted a First-degree Holy Pestle with only that crippled hand and placed it on the platform, surpassing His weight standard by 16 levels. He showed the extraordinary physical quality and strength a holy person has.

Dharma King Gar Tongstan IV——Great Achievers
Dharma King Gar Tongstan Ciren Gyatso
Dharma King Gar Tongstan IV Ciren Gyatso is a faithful disciple of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. He had realized true emptiness and accomplished the holy state to control His own death and rebirth. He passed away in liberation in September, 2018.
In “Inquiry Reply No. 20180102” issued by World Buddhist Association Headquarters in 2018, it was stated, “Today, two members of the board of directors of World Buddhism Association Headquarters went to seek instructions from the Dharma King, as some people are asking when the Dharma King will leave this world in a state of liberation. Dharma King Gar Tongstan said that he had accomplished control over his birth and death by practicing a dharma, the Yidam of which is H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. He said that once a last dharma is performed, he will write a decision letter about his leaving this world and then will leave this world in a state of liberation. He stated that he will not waste any time. Upon hearing that, members of the Persons of Holy Virtue Group at World Buddhism Association Headquarters immediately entered a supernatural observance and found that Dharma King Gar Tongstan had already fully realized the status of Shangzun at the level of Gold Button Grade 3!
Why was the Dharma King able to speak with such certainty? In today’s world, where could people possibly find such Buddha-dharma by which they can attain control over their own birth and death? For almost 100 years, there has not been Buddha-dharma that astounded the world in this way. The Dharma King said that once a last dharma has been performed, he would leave this world in a state of liberation as soon as possible. What dharma was he waiting for? What kind of decision letter would he leave behind? Anyway, that would happen very soon. It was just a matter of waiting for a dharma assembly to take place. We eagerly waited to see whether what he said was empty talk or a reference to an actual great dharma!
In September 2018, Dharma King Gar Tongstan beseeched his beneficent Buddha Master, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, to perform a holy fire-mandala grand offering. He said, “Your Holiness the Buddha should use this highest and greatest Dharma of Tathagata to verify whether those who flaunt the banners of their lineages in society are ordinary or holy people, whether they are amateurs in Buddhism who have lost the lineage of true Dharma. Those who carry evil views have made much efforts in social-media websites on the internet to undermine and slander the conduct and dharma of my beneficent Master, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. This is the only way for us to refute their evilness and show what true Buddha Dharma is!”
H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said, “You are wrong. One must not cause others to feel bad for one’s own sake. I am not able to perform that Dharma. Even if I were to perform it, I would only be able to chant according to the rituals.”
Dharma King Gar Tongstan continued to beseech, “My beneficent Buddha Master, even assuming that Dharma is not performed for the sake of validating Yourself, that Dharma still needs to be performed for the sake of validating true Dharma of Tathagata, for the sake of living beings in the entire western world so as to eliminate their disasters and pray for their good fortune, and for my sake, Your disciple Gar Tongstan Ciren Gyatso, who is beseeching true Buddha Dharma so that I may have the requisites for my accomplishment!”
H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III then said, “Since this relates to the great cause of spreading true Buddha Dharma in the entire western world, and for the sake of praying for good fortune to benefit living beings, you can rest assured that this Dharma assembly will be performed. Even if I do not do perform it, a person of tremendously holy virtue will perform it.”
On September 17th, a metalwork specialist led a team to rush the fabrication of a brass cauldron. On September 18th, Sister Xuanhui brought sandalwood pieces and charcoals from the residence of Dharma King Gar Tongstan to be burnt during the homa fire-offering. On September 19th, the “Holy Fire-Offering Grand Dharma Assembly” was formally held at the Holy Miracles Temple in the United States.
The “Holy Fire-Offering Dharma” is the king of all Dharmas in eliminating karmic hindrances and increasing good fortune. About eighty years ago in Tibet, this Dharma was once successfully performed by Master Phapongka and Kangsa Rinpoche. Ever since, both in Tibet and the Han Chinese regions, the so-called Fire-offering Dharma has been something that is merely described in books or mentioned orally as being a holy Dharma practice; that is, there has not been any actual manifestation of holy states during that time. There have only been conventional dharma practices performed through the chanting of rituals.
However, at the Holy Fire-Offering Grand Dharma Assembly that was performed by a tremendously holy virtuous one at Holy Miracles Temple in the United States on September 19th, 2018, Vajra Maternal Buddha personally arrived in the sky. Her entire tall and enormous blue body emitted light. In an article published on the internet, someone said that they saw Vajra Maternal Buddha flick a finger, sending forth a flash of light from the sky. The fire inside the cauldron then ignited.
However, I have interviewed quite a few people who saw something different. They saw that Vajra Maternal Buddha, who was blue, manifest Herself in the sky. She was enormous, very tall, and extremely dignified and majestic. Her body and movements changed. A net of fire and lightning swirled around Her entire body. As soon as the fire-ignition guardian finished beseeching Her to ignite the fire, Vajra Maternal Buddha suddenly emitted a flash of light from between Her eyebrows directly into the fire cauldron. In an instant, a raging fire started burning! At that time, only five pieces of sandalwood had been placed inside the fire cauldron. How could such a raging fire possibly ignite in an instant?
Subsequently, the demons captured inside the Vajra demon-subduing bowl struggled desperately to escape, trying to shake the bowl to find an exit. Right at the moment that the bowl was shaking, Vajra Maternal Buddha again sent forth a flame from between Her eyebrows directly toward the demon-subduing bowl. Suddenly, the sound “Hong” was heard. The demon-subduing bowl emitted golden flames, instantly turning the demons and black karma of the attendance into pulverized powder. Vajra Maternal Buddha subdued the demons, whose souls were brought to a Buddha-land to be edified! The nearly 100 Buddhist cultivators attending the Dharma assembly were greatly astonished, and they were all prostrating themselves non-stop to pay obeisance!
At the dharma assembly, the one of tremendously holy virtue announced to the practitioners, “This Dharma assembly has now been performed. Dharma King Gar Tongstan will very soon leave the world.”
Sure enough, this was precisely the last Dharma assembly that Dharma King Gar Tongstan said he was waiting for. On the next day, the Dharma King took a bath, changed his clothes, and entered his Dharma practice. In front of his meditation seat, there was a writing desk, brush and ink, paper, and white-out fluid. After writing a letter respectfully bidding farewell to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, the Dharma King immediately went into a sitting meditation and passed away in a state of liberation.
When monastics from different temples heard the news and quickly made their way to the site, they found that right after the Dharma King put down his brush, he passed away in a state of liberation gracefully and completely at ease. At that time, everyone came to realize that the Verses of Respectful Farewell written by Dharma King Gar Tongstan are pointing living beings to where the true, great Dharma of Tathagata is. That is, the true Dharma is held and controlled by H.H.Dorje Chang Buddha III. It is the same as the Dharma of Shakyamuni Buddha; namely, the Buddha Dharma that is non-sectarian and that belongs to the entirety of Buddhism!
The following are the Verse of Respectful Farewell written by Dharma King Gar Tongstan:
Verse of Respectful Farewell
Namo beneficent Master, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III
Disciple Gar Tongstan Ciren Gyatso has decided to leave this world.
As life is filled with suffering,
I rushed about learning Buddhism and seeking enlightenment.
I have followed many masters:
Guang Qin, Xuan Hua, Kalu,
And Dharma King Dilgo Khyentse,
Diligently practicing their dharmas and the Sakya unshared LamDre Dharma,
All to no avail.
Thankfully, I met my Buddha Master.
Through the Mahamudra of Liberation that is supreme and unsurpassed,
And the secret initiations and transmissions of holy Dharma from my Buddha Master,
I achieved control over my own birth and death.
My direct realization is reality.
I now put down my brush and leave this world,
Entering into the state of liberation before the ink dries.
Namo my beneficent Master, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!
Disciple Tongstan respectfully bids farewell.
September 20, 2018
Dharma King Gar Tongstan passed away in a liberated state exactly at the foretold time
The farewell note to Buddha Master written by Dharma King Gar Tonstan right before his passing
Dharma King Gar Tongstan attained liberation from death and rebirth. He left before the ink was dry. After the cremation of Dharma King Gar Tongstan, a lot of hard shariras as well as sharira flowers in green, blue, yellow, white and black colors, and one sharari tooth were found, which was unprecedented in history. They are the manifestation that what the Dharma King had said is true.

Dharma master Tonghui

Dorje Chang Buddha III’s from whom he learned and practiced dharma. He was also called Elder Monk Tonghui. He had transcended the ordinary and entered the state of holiness a long time ago.

There are many examples of his awesome virtue. People often see dharma protecting deities wherever he is. There is a large withered ginkgo tree at his temple that had been dead for over thirty years. After Venerable Dharma Teacher Tonghui sprinkled Bodhi Holy Water on it, the gingko tree came back to life. In 1992, Venerable Dharma Teacher Tonghui went to Burma to respectfully receive and take back with him an image of the Buddha. The night before the Dharma teacher arrived, many people in Burma suddenly dreamed that he was a golden Arhat and would soon come to Burma. The next day when he arrived in Burma, hoards of people made offerings to him. In Hinayana Buddhism, Arhats are praised in the same way that Bodhisattvas who attained the marvelous fruit of enlightenment are praised. It is clear that Venerable Dharma Teacher Tonghui is an amazing and great sage.

Buddhist disciple Zhao Yusheng received a transmission of Buddha Dharma that is true and real
Recounting of the special and wonderful event by Zhao Yusheng
June 28, 2017
My name is Zhao Yusheng, my Dharma name is Yusheng. I am a Buddhist disciple. I am also the executive vice president at the Yibao Artistic Building Materials Ltd. in Foshan. I used to be a disciple under Hengsheng Rinpoche, a master in the Esoteric Sect. Hengsheng Rinpoche was also the chairman of the Yibao Artistic Building Materials Ltd in Foshan. He asked me to do things together with him that caused damages to Yibao Artistic Building Materials Ltd. In Foshan and hurt people’s interest so that his own personal and business interests could be maintained. Moreover, I carried out things according to his evil rules. Consequently, bad retributions have occupied me. When I realized that I had already invoked quite a bit of bad karma and that I got an incurable, nasty disease as a result, I decided to leave Hengsheng Rinpoche and the Esoteric sect. I returned to the pure teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha, and I followed H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III to learn the correct teachings, views, and knowledge in the Tripitaka. But because I am naturally such a dimwit, I found it very difficult to truly understand the meaning of the Tripitaka. That and all the karmic deeds that I had accrued since the beginningless time, I couldn’t go into samadhi when I practiced meditation. My body and mind languished and I became weaker by the day. The doctor told me: “You need to decide whether to have a funeral here in the US or back in China.” At this time, a very kind and compassionate dharma sister consoled me on the phone and said: “You need to let go of everything. Carry no worry about anything in this world. Go and beseech Buddha Master to send you to the Western World of Ultimate Bliss.”
I flew to LA on June 27, 2017. I presented the Buddha Master with my request. Buddha Master asked me: “Can you let go of everything in the world? Can you really do it? Can you really not care at all?” I answered: “I let go of everything in the world. I only wish to go to the Wester World of Ultimate Bliss.” Buddha Master asked me: “Are you sincere? Does that come from the bottom of your heart?” I said: “I have no second thoughts. I beseech Buddha Master to please send me to the Western World of Ultimate Bliss.” Buddha Masters then said to me: “You have already done away with any worldly attachment. You are so sincere, yet so sick. Under these double karmic causes and conditions, your Dharmic affinity has become mature. Alright! I shall transmit to you a great Dharma just based on the mature convergence of these two dharmic conditions.” Buddha Master said: “It doesn’t count if it is just I saying it. I will ask Amitabha Buddha to speak to you directly.” Then Buddha Master started transmitting the great Dharma. It is really something difficult to encounter in millions of kalpas! After going through the things which Buddha Master asked me to pay attention to, I underwent a Determination by Holy Selection, and my Yidam was determined to be Amitabha Buddha! I chose a place that was about five meters away, and I beseeched Buddha Master to stand there to transmit the Dharma to me.
As the Dharma transmission started, Buddha Master began to pray. He told me not to close my eyes and let me chant the holy name of the Buddha. I chanted Namo Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, Namo Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, Namo Manjushri Bodhisattva, Namo Vajrapani Bodhisattva, and Namo Maitreya Bodhisattva. Then when I chanted Namo Amitabha Buddha, suddenly I was very excited because a loud bell sound came in my ears. Amitabha Buddha suddenly appeared in the air and emitted golden light as He slowly descended into the altar. I quickly prostrated myself to Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha Buddha touched my head and pointed to the west to let me see the gate to the World of Ultimate Bliss. Light rays shone from inside the gate, and golden light enveloped the outside of the gate. Its brightness was a million times more than the sun. Of course, I cannot name this multiple very precisely, but it was several times stronger than the sun at noontime. That is why I say that the light intensity was a million times stronger than the sun. At that time, I heard Buddha Master say to me very happily: “You have succeeded! Your Yidam, Amitabha Buddha, has accepted you!” I was so happy and excited beyond compare. I kowtowed desperately to express my gratitude. I have tremendous gratitude towards the supremely revered Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III who is my benevolent Buddha Master! Additionally, Amitabha Buddha said to me that at the time when my life ends, it will be so arranged that Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva will come to take me to go to the middle-middle level! That is exactly what Buddha Master had foretold me earlier! But, I also know well that the reason why I could have this fortunate outcome is all because the benevolent Buddha Master had removed a lot of my black karma for me. I had chanted Buddha’s name for thirty-some years. All I had hoped is I could go to the Western World of Ultimate Bliss without difficulty at the end of my life. I had never dared to wish for any level in there. Today, I saw Amitabha Buddha promise me in person to arrange for Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva to come and take me to the middle-middle level in the Western World of Ultimate Bliss! It is all because H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III gave His grace to me that I could have such wonderful and special karmic conditions!
This kind of unparalleled wonderful and special great Dharma is only possessed by my benevolent Buddha Master, Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III! It would have been futile had I been chanting Buddha’s name by myself, even if I ended up losing my voice doing it. There would be no guarantee that I could reach even the lower-lower level should that be the case! My benevolent Buddha Master could just raise my soul to the Western World of Ultimate Bliss at the end of my life, but Buddha Master looked at my karmic conditions and transmitted to me an unparalleled wonderful and special great Dharma where my Yidam, Amitabha Buddha, came to touch my head in person and told me about the arrangement for me to go to the middle-middle level, allowing me to rest my worries completely. As a result, I was able to put down all the baggage in my mind! I am worry-free! I will cultivate myself well, following my Buddha Master, for the rest of my life, so that I can remove the impure karma in me to correspond to the Western World of Ultimate Bliss!
I hold tremendous gratitude for my benevolent Buddha Master, Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, to allow me to personally see Namo Amitabha Buddha, to have my head touched by the Buddha, and to be given a promise. Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, however, said to me in public at that time: “Don’t thank me! What ability or merit could I have! This is the karmic connection between Amitabha Buddha and you from the beginningless time. How would I have such Dharma ability! I am a common Buddhist cultivator just like you all.” Upon hearing Him saying it, people got into a clamor to oppose it, saying: “Namo Amitabha Buddha was invited to come by none other than Buddha Master!” Buddha Master kept shaking His head and said: “People’s talk can surely be thunderous! Even I said no, you still say yes!”
My dear family and friends! I am a stage-four terminal lung cancer patient. Going through a major illness like this, I have personally experienced the misery of feeling like dying rather than living. I have no pomposity. All I have are pains in my body. I dare not say anything false to add a single shred of evil karma to me. Today, I feel blissful and happy beyond compare! I feel as if I was in a dream! All my blessings are given to me by my compassionate, benevolent Buddha Master! I didn’t dare to wish for anything at the beginning. I had never thought my benevolent Buddha Master immediately transmitted a great Dharma to me! This Buddhist disciple Yusheng holds tremendous gratitude for the compassion of the benevolent Buddha Master!
I vow to say that this recounting record is true and real, or I shall descend to the Hall of Uninterrupted Suffering! At the same time, I am willing to return the merits of this recounting to my family and friends who are still lost in the way. I am extremely fortunate that I could have paid a respectful visit to my benevolent Buddha Master, Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III! I hold extreme gratitude for my benevolent Buddha Master, Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III! I hold gratitude towards Namo Amitabha Buddha! And I hold gratitude towards all Buddhist disciples who are present here!
Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III! Namo Amitabha Buddha!
Buddhist disciple Yusheng, June 28, 2017
Below are the signatures of all the Buddhist disciples who are present at the time to witness me, Zhao Yusheng, recounting this special and wonderful karmic condition in my unparalleled excitement and exhausted voice:
Shi Juehui, Jianggong Kangqing, Xiangge Qiongwa, Shi Zhengxue, Shi Liaozheng, Shi Zhegyin, Shi Zhiguang, Shi Ruoke, Shi Liaohui, Shi Zhengguang, Shi Zhengli, Yongdeng Gongbu, Kuan, Xiao Guiqing, Yao Shen, Mao Lianying, Mao Meimei, Zhao Chen
I personally witnessed the special and wonderful passing of layman Zhao Yusheng

told by Ms Mao Meimei, September 2, 2017
Amitabha Buddha! Dharma masters, rinpoches, kind and virtuous people, my name is Mao Meimei. I would like to tell you the special and wonderful passing of layman Zhao Yusheng, which I witnessed personally myself here. I was afraid that I might miss something, so I wrote it down.
Zhao Yusheng used to be a disciple under Chen Baosheng who told him to chant: “homage to the supreme vajra master! My achievement completely relies on my master, it is completely based on my master being happy” every day. Zhao Yusheng said that he was helping Chen Baosheng to create forgeries at the building material company which resulted in a loss of over eight hundred thousand just last year alone. He also said he helped him make false promotions to swindle people. He said: “The more I learn from Chen Baosheng, the worse I have become. Now I have got sinful karma all over myself, my body has got cancer, and I feel a lot of pain!” Zhao Yusheng knew he was hurt by the evil teachings of Chen Baosheng. He only saw Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III at the late stage of his cancer. When he saw Buddha Master, he repented piously to Buddha Master. Buddha Master said to him: “It is not important to say repenting words. What is important for you is to cultivate yourself well, truly correct your bad deeds to good deeds, so that you can benefit the society and living beings.” Zhao Yusheng then repented sincerely from the bottom of the heart, vowing that he would not be a rinpoche any longer, he would not want to learn a single bit of the evil teaching anymore and he would just die without any care. All he wanted was to go to the Buddha-land. He made as a large vow as he could.
Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III held a ceremony of taking refuge for Zhao Yusheng. Buddha Master saw that dharma brother Zhao Yusheng was very sincere and his karmic conditions had matured, so He transmitted a Dharma to him. The Yidam, Amitabha Buddha, was invited by Buddha Master to arrive in person. The Buddha touched his head, transmitted Dharma to him, and let him see the gate to the Western World of Ultimate Bliss. Amitabha Buddha told dharma brother Zhao Yusheng that He would send Namo Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva to take him to the middle-middle level. Ever since dharma brother Yusheng received the Dharma transmission from Amitabha Buddha and returned to San Francisco, he had kept the practice every day and would not talk much. His daughter, dharma sister Zhao Chen, and I waited day after day, not knowing when Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva would come to take dharma brother Yusheng away. I was torn because I had a business to manage in Washington D.C., but at the same time, I also wanted to witness dharma brother Yusheng attaining his achievement. It was such a long wait! Finally, we had to respectfully request a direction from Buddha Master on the phone. Buddha Master told us: “He will not go just yet. You should leave his health condition to the doctors and the nurses.”
The day before dharma brother Yusheng’s passing, he and I sat on the bench outside together. He said to me: “Chen Baosheng is a devil, a demon, a sinner, a cheating criminal, and a swindler. Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva wants me to uncover his crimes. The Bodhisattva told me She will come to take me away tomorrow. She wants me to show people the greatness of the Dharma at the time when She takes me away. But I am worried that I will become dull-minded and forget to uncover his crimes when Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva comes to take my away tomorrow. I told dharma brother Yusheng: “Don’t be afraid! Don’t be afraid! You are not gonna be dull-minded! Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva will definitely come to take you away tomorrow!”
It was about 2:30 PM on August 24, at which time I was taking a nap when dharma brother Yusheng came in to wake me after going to the restroom outside by himself. He told us that he was ready to go, and we must sincerely learn Buddha Dharma from Buddha Master. He said let’s meet again in the Western World of Ultimate Bliss. He wanted to clean himself. We felt very sad at that time. Is such a real and live person really going to be gone? We took out the clothes which we had prepared for him earlier. After he put on the clothes, Zhao Chen and I smelled a special fragrance. Dharma Brother Yusheng then said: “Now I am going to show the greatness of the Dharma and to prove H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has the most supreme Buddha Dharma by my liberation from birth and death. Cheng Baosheng is an evil, a demon! He is an evil master, a huge cheat, and a sinner!” He said: “The real true Dharma of Tathagata resides with our greatest Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, my Buddha Master! Alright! I said enough. Namo Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is here to take me!”
After dharma brother Yusheng finished his word, his whole body was glowing. Then I saw the huge and tall beyond compare Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, emitting a strong white light all over, having colorful light rays surrounding the Bodhisattva, looking extremely majestic, standing above dharma brother Yusheng’s head. At that time, I saw the dharma brother Yusheng’s soul or mind consciousness dashing out of the top of his head towards Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva and rose away in the air. Staring at the scene, suddenly I could no longer see Avalokiteshvara and dharma brother Yusheng. I ran out to the yard as fast as I could. Then my phone rang at that time. I looked up and saw dharma brother Yusheng leaving on a white cloud following Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva.
I also saw the tree in the yard dropping fragrant nectar. The Dharma masters from Huazangsi Temple arrived first. They also saw the raining of fragrant nectar when they came. A Dharma master even videotaped the nectar coming down. The nectar was very special because it disappeared as soon as it reached the ground.
I was not the only person who witnessed the special and wonderful process. A 92-year old lady from Malaysia who lives across the street also saw that Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva came to take away dharma brother Yusheng! That was really a holy feat so difficult to see in millions of kalpas. I hold gratitude for Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. I hold gratitude for Namo Amitabha Buddha! I hold gratitude for Namo Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva!
Thank you!
Layman Wang Ling-Ze and Laywoman Wang Cheng E-Feng
——Great Achievers
LAYWOMAN WANG CHENG E-FEN AND HER HUSBAND, LAYMAN WANG LING-ZE, LEARNED
THE TRUE BUDDHA DHARMA AND REALIZED GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT
This is the text of an article published in the Asian Journal on Jul. 21, 2004.
Note: In the article below, the titles of Buddha Vajradhara, Great Dharma King, and Dharma King all refer to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.
CONTINUED TO LIVE AND WAS ABLE TO SPEAK
Laywoman Wang Cheng E-Fen was a native of Xindu County in Sichuan, China. She was eighty-one years old this year. This elder laywoman followed the Buddha Vajradhara Great Dharma King Yeshe Norbu1. She practiced the Avalokiteshvara* Dharma taught to her by the Great Dharma King. She was a very close relative of the Great Dharma King.
This year, she suddenly felt discomfort in her lower back area. The doctors at the Number 47 Hospital diagnosed her as having bone cancer. In March of this year, this elder laywoman showed signs of impending death. On April 13th, her children took her to the Chengdu General Hospital. Examinations revealed that she had no symptoms of bone cancer. All of her indices were normal. Her electrocardiogram and electroencephalogram indicated she had no disease and was healthy.
X-rays of her chest area were taken on April 18th. The area of the x-ray where her two lungs should have been visible was not developed at all. There was just a blank space in that area. The doctors were very surprised at this, since this situation had never occurred before. After further examination, they determined that her two lungs had completely stopped functioning. She had no respiratory function. She could not inhale or exhale.
Everyone was extremely mystified. Isn’t someone dead when his or her breathing stops? But even though laywoman Wang Cheng E-Fen was not breathing, she was still alive. Moreover, she was able to speak in a normal manner! Someone put a small feather under this elder laywoman’s nostrils, right in front of her mouth. People watched that feather for more than ten minutes and, just as expected, it did not move in the slightest. That elder laywoman had no respiration at all. Nonetheless, she continued to live and speak in a normal manner. The doctors thought that this was a bizarre symptom. As far as medical circles and even as far as the entire world is concerned, this was an unheard-of situation. With her two lungs not functioning at all for more than one month, this elder laywoman was able to speak and move about. Of course, no one knew that this was the result of the realization she achieved from practice of the Buddha Dharma.
TO COME AND TAKE THE ELDER LAYWOMAN TO HER NEXT EXISTENCE
After Wang Cheng E-Fen had stayed in the Chengdu General Hospital for two or three days, she manifested certain signs that indicated a highly virtuous person was about to go to the Western Paradise. She told everyone that Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva had already told her that she (Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva) was going to take her to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. That elder laywoman arranged matters that related to her passing away. She took off the necklace she wore on her chest depicting a Buddha image. She took off all of the jewelry on her hands. She divided these things among her children. She put on clothes worn by one who has already passed away. She then quietly waited for Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva to arrive. She put her palms together in respect and continuously chanted “Homage to Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva.” She told all of the people who were there to chant scriptures or mantras to kneel down and chant the holy name “Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva.” She said that Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva had already arrived.
All of the patients in that hospital room suddenly smelled a fragrant scent. Heavenly music began playing in the air. The Bodhisattva had arrived. However, it was not time for that elder laywoman to pass away. That elder laywoman told everyone that Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva told her that a relative of hers who is far away in the United States, Great Dharma King Yeshe Norbu, had intervened and requested Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva not to take her away at this time.
A few days later, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva arrived for a second time. That elder laywoman did not disturb any of the people who were at her side. She alone continued to chant her mantra and hold her palms together in respect. Those people who were at her side heard her say, “The Western Paradise is so beautiful! There are so many flowers!” Because the Great Dharma King asked Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva not to take the elder laywoman away, just as before, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva did not take her away.
When I interviewed her, although she did not want to say very much, out of a sense of responsibility, that elder laywoman insisted on personally recording the following: “I saw Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva wearing black clothes. The Western Paradise is so beautiful! There are towers, pagodas, and many flowers!”
THE TRUE DHARMA
On May 22, 2004 of the western calendar at 11:00 at night, Los Angeles, U.S.A. time, (May 23rd, 2:00 in the afternoon, China time) the Great Dharma King summoned Dharma Teacher Long Hui, a noble monastic. Dharma Teacher Long Hui is the chairperson of the International Buddhism Sangha Association. The Great Dharma King told her that a very close relative of his, laywoman Wang Cheng E-Fen, would pass away in Sichuan, China the next day, U.S.A. time, but the same day in China. The Great Dharma King said that Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva would receive her and take her to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. The Great Dharma King told his disciple, Dharma Teacher Long Hui, to announce the passing of laywoman Wang Cheng E-Fen in front of the various disciples attending the Bathing the Buddha Dharma Assembly that would take place the next day. He also instructed Dharma Teacher Long Hui to have the attendees dedicate the merit of that Dharma Assembly to that elder laywoman. The Great Dharma King added, “Listen carefully. She has not yet passed away at this time. The merit of that Bathing the Buddha Dharma Assembly that all of you will conduct tomorrow will be quite extraordinary. I cannot again ask Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva to have her stay in this world any longer. After I finish practicing the Dharma tonight, tomorrow Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva will come and receive her and take her away.”
As predicted, the next day (May 23rd) at 7:00 in the morning, Los Angeles time (May 23rd, around 10:00 at night, China time), before Dharma Teacher Long Hui arrived at the Dharma Assembly, a telephone call was received from Sichuan. The person on the phone said that Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva received and took away laywoman Wang Cheng E-Fen twenty minutes ago.
That day at the Dharma Assembly, the bathing the Buddha ceremony had just finished, and everyone was dedicating merit to the elder laywoman Wang Cheng E-Fen. Everyone then saw that the bronze statue of Dharma Prince Sakyamuni, who was wearing a red robe, suddenly began emitting dazzling golden rays of light. This light did not diminish even after a long time. Only after two and a half hours did it slowly disappear. Such a sight was very much connected with the fact that the Great Dharma King taught the elder laywoman the correct Dharma of the Buddha, and she thereby attained great accomplishment. Otherwise, why is it that in all of the other Bathing the Buddha Dharma Assemblies in history no one saw the statue of the Buddha emitting light?
WANG CHENG E-FEN SPREAD ACROSS THE PACIFIC OCEAN
On May 23rd after 9:30 at night, China time, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva had just received and taken away Wang Cheng E-Fen. The mantra-chanting device bought from a street-store and placed in her room was emitting its regular chanting sound. Suddenly, the chanting sound coming from that device turned into the sound of Great Dharma King Yeshe Norbu, who was on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, chanting “Homage to Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva” The sound of the Great Dharma King chanting the name of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was much louder and clearer than the original sound coming from that machine. Everyone who heard this was moved and astonished. Shi Xin Zhen was so moved she recorded the sound of the Great Dharma King’s voice.
On May 24th after 10:00 at night, China time, the body of Wang Cheng E-Fen was taken to a simple but dignified room in the Baoguang Temple, one of the four great temples in China. At the time, her face looked healthy and rosy.
BUDDHA LIGHTS AND RAINBOWS DESCENDED UPON THE EARTH
On May 25th after 4:00 in the afternoon, China time, in a room that had just been constructed in Baoguang Temple, disciples of the Great Dharma King were calmly chanting the holy mantra, “Homage to Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva.” Before long, everyone heard that the original sound coming from the mantra-chanting device suddenly stopped. The sound coming from that machine changed into that of Great Dharma King Yeshe Norbu leading many people in the chanting of “Homage to Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva.” Before long, that sound turned into the chanting of “Homage to Amitabha Buddha.” The sound then again became the chanting of “Homage to Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva.” Everyone was very moved and chanted along with the Great Dharam King. Shi Xin Zhen and Shi Xin En recorded all of this on the spot.
About five minutes later, a Buddha Light flashed upon the Buddha altar and the body of laywoman Wang Cheng E-Fen. Right after that, a Buddha Light appeared in the sky. Everyone rushed outside. They prostrated and shouted with joy. Everyone saw those wonderful sights no matter whether he or she was a disciple of the Great Dharma King or whether he or she was learning and practicing Buddhism.
A colorful Buddha Light slowly extended through the sky. The scene was just as the Amitabha Sutra described. Out of the Buddha Light came countless Buddhas as well as Bodhisattvas who were sitting there as far as the eye could see. The radiance spread into infinite space. The surrounding clouds turned into various colors. The land, sky, and trees were covered with a golden-yellow, bluish light. The sun and the E-Mei moon appeared together. The sun and moon shining together was a solemn and auspicious event. The sun continuously flashed and shook.
From the sun emerged countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Very soon after that, silver wheels as well as innumerable Dharma eyes that shined with boundless radiance emerged from the sun. Male lions wearing colorful ornaments and flood dragons also emerged from the sun! Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, who was in the Buddha Light, was wearing a long dress, looking wondrous and dignified. The head of Sakyamuni Buddha, the world-honored one, then appeared, looking larger than even the sun. Golden-yellow light enveloped the faces and bodies of people on ground. The colorful Buddha Light immediately projected its light upon the chest of anyone who requested empowerment. People knelt down continuously to worship.
The Dharma names of those who personally saw the holy sight of this Buddha Light are as follows: Shi Zhi Lan, Shi Zhi Qing, Shi Xin Zhen, Shi Xin En, Shi Xin Feng, Shi Zhi Lian, Shi Dao Rong, Shi Yi Zong, Shi Zhi Guang, Shi Chao Jing, Shi Nian Ci, Shi Nian De, Shi Nian Zhen, Shi Zhi Ying, Shi Zhi De, Shi Xin Ying, Shi Dao Wei, Shi Zhi Xiu, etc., totaling almost thirty people. The holy scene of the Buddha Light lasted about one hour. Everyone was moved, joyous, and extremely excited.
BODHISATTVAS ON LOTUS PEDESTALS EMERGED FROM THE FURNACE
In China, the weather of May 28th was hotter then it had been for the past few days. The elder laywoman had already passed away several days before. The casket containing her body was placed in a simple room in Baoguang Temple. Her body was not frozen. There was no air conditioning or electric fan in that room. People who were alive emitted body odor due to heavy perspiration. However, the body of that elder laywoman emitted a heavy fragrance. Everyone there smelled this scent. Two monks from the Baoguang Temple made a special trip to examine this phenomenon. With great amazement, they said, “The weather is so hot. Even though her body has been placed here for so many days, there haven’t been any problems with it. There are no signs of water on the ground. There is even a fragrant scent. She truly cultivated herself well.”
In that room, many people saw the statue of Amitabha Buddha on the altar emit strong golden rings of light three times, each time lasting about ten minutes. A photograph of the elder laywoman and the top of her head gleamed with dazzling golden light at the same time. The Buddha Light outside of that room was gorgeous, just as before. In that room, disciples of the Great Dharma King recited the name of a Buddha with undivided attention. A monk in the Baoguang Temple then said in an urgent tone of voice, “You have still not gone outside to see the Buddha Light? There are so many Bodhisattvas in the sky!”
On May 29th, China time, the cremation ceremony for elder laywoman Wang Cheng E-Fen formally took place. Dharma Teacher Ji Xin, the master of cremation at Baoguang Temple, was in charge of that ceremony. When the solemn mantra chanting ended, flames began to rise. Before her wooden casket was fully on fire, various holy Buddha Dharma states appeared! A colorful and flashing Buddha Light surrounded and circled the earth. Shouts of joy could be heard one after another from people who saw this holy scene. Cell phones, cameras, and camcorders were lifted high. They did not need to be focused, and nobody needed to find a view. Everything was taken in, since holy scenes were everywhere.
From the raging furnace fire, suddenly flood dragon soared. It spewed fire from its mouth and roared powerfully. Amitabha Buddha, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, Four-Arm Avalokiteshvara, and Manjushri Bodhisattva holding the sword of wisdom all suddenly appeared. Seed syllables, vajras, Dharma protecting deities, male lions, phoenixes, lotus flowers, rainbows, and various other kinds of amazing scenes continually emerged as the furnace flames rose. The mantra-chanting device again emitted the sound of the Great Dharma King chanting the name of a Buddha. Suddenly, nectar descended from the sky. It was fragrant and sweet. The nectar only fell on the cremation furnace. No nectar fell upon any place surrounding the furnace.
The appearance of all of these holy scenes caused people to be brimming with joy. Since the cremation furnace of Baoguang Temple was built until today, such joyous circumstances had had never before occurred. The Dharma names of those people who were at the cremation and personally saw holy sights are as follows: Shi Xin En, Shi Xin Feng, Shi Xin Yu, Shi Zhi Wen, Shi Xin Miao, Shi Dao Zhen, Shi Dao Chun, Shi Dao Zhi, Shi Xin Xiao, Shi Zhi Lian, Shi Xin Yuan, Shi Guang Xiu, Shi Dao Guang, Shi Guang Wen, Qude Damu, Shi Zhi De, Shi Yi Zeng, Shi Zhi Da, Shi Zhi Xiu, Shi Zhen Xiong, Shi Zhen De, Shi Dao Shan, Shi De Hai, Shi Guang Yun, Shi Zhi Qing, Shi Guang Ling, Shi Zhi Zhang, Shi Zhi Ming, Shi Zhi Hai, Shi Guang Feng, Shi De Ming, Shi De Chao, Shi Zhi Bo, etc. There were also many other unknown people. Everyone there expressed their admiration in loud voices and knelt down right then and there.
RESULTED IN SHARIRAS AND SHARIRA FLOWERS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY
What is even more amazing is that from the bone ashes of elder laywoman Wang Cheng E-Fen more than sixty shariras (relics) of different colors, as well as yellow and white sharira flowers of the highest quality, were found! The shape of some on the shariras was rhombic. This caused a sensation in all of Baoguang Temple and in Buddhist circles throughout China. These are holy things that are extremely rare in history. They are true Buddhist treasures. They manifest the holy state described as follows: “The Western Paradise has row of gems and nets of gems. This is very mysterious. All of the lotus flowers there blossom perfectly.”
Laywoman Wang Cheng E-Fen became accomplished by practicing the Avalokiteshvara Dharma. After her cremation at the Baoguang Temple in Xindu County, Sichuan, China, she left behind more than 60 shariras (relics) of various colors as well as sharira flowers of the highest quality.
Wu You-Jia from Taiwan said, “Those shariras (relics) are truly wondrous treasures. During the process of searching for shariras, I saw a lump of bone ashes the size of a human palm. People had searched through it a few times. Surprisingly, I found two shariras within it. I then looked through it carefully once more. I was sure there were no more shariras in it. At that time, I saw another disciple find three shariras in that lump of bone ashes that I searched through. Another disciple from Taiwan, Li Hui-Zhu, had a serious ailment related to her hands. Because her tactile sense was not good, she only used three fingers to search for shariras in the bone ashes. She said that although she did not find even one sharira, the next morning she discovered that all of the symptoms relating to the three fingers she used to search for shariras had disappeared.”
An endless stream of visitors came to pay their respects to the shariras. Many people from various circles in society came. Baoguang Temple specially photographed the elder laywoman’s shariras. The temple openly and respectfully handed out that photograph to everybody.
THE ELDER WANG ATTAINED CONTROL OVER HIS OWN BIRTH AND DEATH
As La Mu said in her article entitled “Analysis of the Highest Form of Bathing the Buddha Dharma Assembly,” if the only disciple of the Great Dharma King who became accomplished in the Dharma were Wang Cheng E-Fen, perhaps it would be coincidental. But something mysterious happened. Layman Wang Ling-Ze, the husband of laywoman E-Fen, also practiced the Dharma according to the teachings of the Great Dharma King. Throughout his entire life, he did not discuss the Buddha Dharma. One afternoon in 1991 on February 15th of the lunar calendar, he suddenly took a bench and placed it on the roadside in the Laodong Village of Xindu. He then openly began urging people to be kind and good. He explained the wonders of the Pure Land. He praised the Great Dharma King, saying that his Dharma is the authentic Buddha Dharma of Sakyamuni Buddha.
Someone asked Wang Ling-Ze, “I like Avalokiteshvara Dharma, but I don’t know which Avalokiteshvara Dharma is the best.” The elder layman Wang answered, “No matter if your teacher is a Great Dharma Teacher or a Great Rinpoche, you must be very careful. You absolutely must not learn false Buddha Dharma. For example, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s ‘pure vase realization’ is great. Let’s look toward ourselves. How is your master? If he doesn’t have the ability and state of realization to ‘obtain water,’ transmit Dharma, and conduct initiations, if he does not practice the precepts well, then he just understands the common Dharma written in books. Rather than learn from such a person, you would accumulate more merit if you intoned ‘Homage to Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva.’ True Avalokiteshvara Dharma involves ‘obtaining water’ either in a gentle way or a forceful way. Obtaining water in a forceful way involves one or two persons lifting a lotus tub weighing over 5,500 pounds and pouring out the water from it. This is the true Buddha Dharma. Obtaining water in a gentle way involves the following. You secretly prepare a bowl outside the presence of the master. You fill it with water and take it out. The master immediately practices the Dharma in front of you. Water instantly flows through the bowl toward you. It is like the holy water in the pure vase of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. No containers in this world can hold the holy water in that pure vase. That holy water will penetrate through and flow out of any such worldly container. When used in initiations and Dharma transmissions, holy water that has flowed through a bowl can wash away your karmic hindrances accumulated over many past lifetimes. This is true Avalokiteshvara Dharma. I have learned this true Buddha Dharma transmitted to me by Great Dharma King Yeshe Norbu. Water penetrated through the bowl. Therefore, I am about to go to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.”
When the elder layman Wang finished expounding the Dharma, he pushed the bench to one side and sat down in the cross-legged posture in front of his house near the road. He instantly passed away. He illustrates the magnificence of the Buddha Dharma transmitted by the Great Dharma King, which leads to control over one’s own birth and death. According to the rules of Buddhism, after the elder layman passed away, his body could not be touched for seven days. Therefore, he sat solemnly in the cross-legged posture at that very spot near the public street for seven days and seven nights. His back remained completely upright. After his cremation at the Baoguang Temple in Xindu, thirteen firm shariras (relics) were left behind.
I went to the Baoguang Temple in Xindu and paid twelve yuan to buy a photograph openly sold by the temple showing the sharira and sharira flowers left behind by laywoman Wang Cheng E-Fen after her cremation. I learned from a documentary video as well as from other sources that many disciples of the Great Dharma King include world-class outstanding monastics, first-class elder monastics in Taiwan, first-class elder monastics and Great Rinpoches in mainland China and Hong Kong, and first-class eminent monastics and Great Rinpoches in the United States. Furthermore, many disciples of the Great Dharma King include husband and wife couples who obtained control over their own births and deaths. Some of his disciples passed away while they sat in the cross-legged posture, chanted the name of Amitabha Buddha, and held their hands in a special mudra. The bodies of some disciples emitted dazzling light after they passed away. The corpses of some disciples do not rot after their passing, thereby becoming a “body sharira.”
However, the most amazing thing of all is that the Great Dharma King often tells his disciples beforehand when a certain person will pass away, thus enabling his Dharma Teacher disciples to make their way to that person quickly so that they can help him or her by reciting passages or mantras for the deceased. When those Dharma Teachers are informed of this, the person is still alive. When they arrive at the person’s location, he or she has already passed away. What is the significance of this? This shows that such magnificent Buddha Dharma truly exists.
A layperson with the surname Mai, who often worships the Buddha at the Baoguang Temple, was very moved and told a reporter, “During these past several years, I have been very anxious. I have acknowledged many great Dharma Teachers and great Rinpoches as my teachers, but I have still not learned the true Buddha Dharma. I fear the arrival of the critical moment of death. Of course, I chant the name of Amitabha Buddha every day. But I am clearer than anyone else is about the level of my practice. I am clearer than anyone else is about whether I am an ordinary person. I have not learned the true Buddha Dharma. I am not the only one. Everyone else around me is in the same situation. At the time of my death, I will surely enter the cycle of reincarnation. This is very frightening. I have prayed to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas that I may learn the true Buddha Dharma. For the past few days, I have seen holy states relating to the great accomplishment of Cheng E-Fen. I know that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have blessed me by causing me to find the true Buddha Dharma! A few of us fellow disciples have discussed this matter. We will use every means to find the master who taught laywoman Cheng E-Fen how to become accomplished. I know that he is truly an extremely holy being. We heard that laywoman Cheng E-Fen’s husband also passed away in the cross-legged sitting posture in complete control of his death and future rebirth. That was also the result of the Dharma King’s transmission of Buddha Dharma. If we did not seek out that Dharma King, who else would we seek out? Of course we must try to find him. Only that Dharma King can solve the matter of life and death that we face. We must sincerely search for him!”

CAPTIONS FROM PHOTOGRAPHS IN THE ASIAN JOURNAL ARTICLE:
(1) Laywoman Wang Cheng E-Fen, who is the mother of virtuous professor Wang Yu-Hua, became accomplished by practicing the Avalokiteshvara Dharma. After her cremation at the Baoguang Temple in Xindu County, Sichuan, China, she left behind more than 60 shariras (relics) of various colors as well as sharira flowers of the highest quality. Such relics can truly be called rare Buddhist treasures in the history of Buddhism. They manifest the holy state described as follows: “The Western Paradise has row of gems and nets of gems. This is very mysterious. All of the lotus flowers there blossom perfectly.”
(2) Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva has already escorted laywoman Wang Cheng E-Fen to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.
(3) Various temples together conducted a Bathing the Buddha Dharma Assembly in which all of the attendees dedicated the merit of that assembly to laywoman Wang Cheng E-Fen. After that dedication, a statue of the Buddha emitted light for more than two hours (right). Such shining light is closely related to the fact that the Great dharma King transmitted dharma to laywoman Wang Cheng E-Fen, and she thereby attained great accomplishment. On the left is a picture of a statue of the Buddha before it emitted light. That statue is made of bronze but is gilded with non-lustrous gold. It is now an object of worship at the Hua Zang Temple.
(4) Great layman Wang Ling-Ze passed away on February 15, 1991 while sitting in the cross-legged posture. This is a photograph taken of him five days after he passed away. When he was still sitting in front of his house in the cross-legged posture with his back erect.
(5) Great layman Wang Ling-Ze left behind 13 firm relics after his cremation.
Note *: In the original Asian Journal newspaper article, Avalokiteshvara was called “Guan Yin”, which is the name of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva in Chinese.
